It may not have been in the past, but we've been slowly working towards equality for all, just like every other country. (Well, maybe not every country is working towards equality. Still, some major ones are.)

I think a black president being elected would really show how far we've come in terms of equality. A woman president would, too, but it seems that women have gotten a bit more than blacks have in the country. After all, there are still strong black stereotypes in America, while many female stereotypes have been stamped out. People may not take women seriously, but blacks are expected to do drugs, get welfare, and not take care of their kids.

it might not happen that fast because people vote.. and probably most americans dont agree with a female or a black president...

You're right, but according to a Gallup poll I saw a while back, Americans are more willing to vote for a black or female president than a president who's been divorced (it may have been divorced and over 70 or something; it matched up to one of the potential candidates, either way). Also, people were least likely to vote for an atheist. Not much of a surprise, but it's worth stating.

Hilary because she is a much stronger canidate. Obama is all about talk and not much action. I think we need someone with smarts and guts. But I wouldn't mind Hilary and him being running mates together. She going for president and he'd be vice.
